The Crown-Republic of Great-Desolates is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Crown Minister with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.141 billion Desolates have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienna. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Desolate economy, worth 748 trillion Crown Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,857 Crown Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBGD Governor goes house hunting, only the richest get to see out of their windows, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Great-Desolates's national animal is the St Duo Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Heavens.

Great-Desolates is ranked 8,808^th in the world and 50^th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 89,162.84 Standard Monetary Units.
